+Support Policy
+==============
+
+As of v1.8.8, C-PAC is in maintenance mode. With the 2.0.0 release, we will begin strict adherence to Semantic Versioning.
+
+While in maintenance mode, we will continue to publish new releases but FCP-INDI will no longer be paying developers to add new features.
+
+Our team is happy to offer guidance and support where possible. For requests involving custom development, extended technical support, or integration efforts, we're open to exploring paid support arrangements. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss these options further.
+
+Community contributions will be reviewed and released when passing review. Responsibility for these reviews is defined in [.github/CODEOWNERS](./.github/CODEOWNERS).
+
+User support will continue at [Neurostars](https://neurostars.org/tag/cpac), though expect a slower response time as FCP-INDI will no longer be paying developers to perform user support.
+
+Major bug fixes will continue to be addressed by [**@FCP-INDI/maintenance**](https://github.com/orgs/FCP-INDI/teams/maintenance). Minor bugs will be documented and left to the community to contribute fixes and workarounds.
+
+Security releases will continue to be published by [**@FCP-INDI/DevOps**](https://github.com/orgs/FCP-INDI/teams/DevOps).
+
+These guidelines will be in effect for 2 years, at which point they will be reevaluated and updated by [**@FCP-INDI/maintenance**](https://github.com/orgs/FCP-INDI/teams/maintenance).
